Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initrd-tools
Merge from 0.89 debian version.
initramfs-tools (0.89ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Add support for sunvnet and sunvdc in hook-functions.
- fix nfsroot handling if rootserver is specified with IP and colon in
root-path
- Add support for alternative prerequisites, specified as e.g.
"kbd|console-tools" (note the lack of spaces around the "|").
- Allow modules specified by force_load to be blacklisted
- Drop scripts/init-premount/thermal since this can be handled by using
force_load now
- Make sure framebuffer modules can be blacklisted
- Drop mdrun script, since this can be handled entirely within the udev
and initramfs scripts supplied by the mdadm package
- As well as waiting for the existance of the root device node, also check
to see whether we have a filesystem of some kind on it. Some devices
nodes (devmapper/LVM/EVMS, mdadm) will exist before they can be safely
used
- Add patch to restore initramfs on failures. Taken from Debian's
initramfs-tools git repo (5dfd85f416a10b1c41ca7005de38b58715c04472).
- While we're here, remove snd_ps3 from autoload list on PS3. Isn't in
initramfs. Installer will add it to /etc/modules.
- Add support for the netboot variable, used by casper.
- Use -Qb for ppc thermal modprobe's
- Add snd_ps3 to ps3 module loads. Use -Qb here too
- hook-functions: Add udf to dep_add_modules and auto_add_modules
- Copy all of drivers/block/ to initramfs. Can't believe we didn't do this
before
- Add init-premount hook to manually load modules for ps3. These modules
do not have aliases or auto-load features, so have to do it by hand
(ps3-system-bus)
- For auto module inclusions, detect when we need to pack ps3 modules
- Remove the 10MB size restriction from /dev; this doesn't make sense for
Ubuntu since we use /dev for initramfs/realfs handover and for things
like bootchart
- Add aic94xx firmware hooks
- Don't load vga16fb on amd64 either. usplash 0.4-36 fixes things so that
we don't need it
- Change Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep
- Use busybox-initramfs for Depends
- RESUME UUID upgrade
- add_firmware addition to hook-functions
- Use copy_modules_dir for auto module copying
- noexec,nodev,nosuid options for /sys and /proc
- Do not source udev.conf
- Set BUSBOXDIR properly
- Keep kinit and gzip in initrd
- Use -Qb for for module loading to honor blacklists
- all_generic_ide script
- Remove lvm local-top script (conflicts with lvm-common)
- takeover=1 in update-initramfs
- Remove udev_helper local-top script. It loads ide-generic, and we don't
want that
